Abolish Gross Income Tax? , Some retailers, very happy over the new sales tax, which they collect but do not pay, have suggested that the gross income tax and property tax' be repealed, and replaced by a single sales tax. They are apparently so self-seeking that they do not realize what rate this would take. It is estimated that the 2% sales tax will bring in about $252,000 each day. This is roughly S9O million a year, or $45 million for each 1% of the tax. Now’, the former gross income tax brought in $204,472,761 in fiscal 1961-62, about $lB million less than was spent under authorization of the legislature. Thus, an ADDITIONAL 5% sales tax, or a total sales tax of 7%, would be needed to raise as much as is now being raised by a gross income tax and sales tax. This is 7c on a dollar. It does not include the amount raised by a property tax. This rate would be high, even for those who favor a sales tax. But even more importantly, the sales tax is grossly unfair. It taxes what you spend not what you earn. Thus, if you spend all of what you earn, like a widow or retired family, you pay a straight percent of what you earn; while if you are rich, and buy investments or save in the bank, you pay lessand if you are a legal person, as a corporation, you pay almost nothing. What we need are candidates for public office who favor a simple per cent of Federal net income tax to replace present state taxes; this would be very’ simple to administer. Think how much it will cost just to administer this new sales tax — hundreds of new employes, new forms, etc. Editorial written by;— Dick Heller

The cleaning of a brush can be put off for weeks this way. One very good trick is to slip the bnish into a plastic bag containing water, and suspend it from a tack with • a bit of string. The bag treats the brush gently, and it cannot be kicked over accidently as can a pail of water.

Donald Heimann Was the master of ceremonies. Following P e r r o h e. Mayor Donald Gage gave an interesting talk on the Columbianism and what part it plays in every member's life.
